Red Sand Beach: Rabia, Galapagos Islands

Is red the new white? Forget the luscious white sand that we're all used too, this Galapagos Island paradise is completely covered with red sand, thanks to the oxidation of volcano lava. Be prepared to be greeted by sea lions, some of which are friendly - others not so much.
